The last two times I've travelled out to the Peak District to photograph some landscapes, I've not exactly come back with what I hoped to capture. On reflection, were these two shoots a failure? It depends on your perspective I suppose.

As a Manchester Landscape Photographer I often get asked why I don't shoot more landscapes or cityscapes of Manchester. I love getting out of the city to shoot Yorkshire, Lake & Peak District Landscape photographs, but I thought, "what a good question".

At least being a commercial photographer isn't boring. Far from it in fact. I write this post in a non moaning manner. I try and avoid negative posts - so this won’t be one. However I think it’s important to understand that in the case of photography, time literally is money.

Later than planned here’s my choice for August’s wedding photo of the month. Taken at Whitehead Gardens in Bury, next door to Bury’s Registry office it just summed up the wedding and the lovely bride and groom.
